The Zines are In!

Whelp, kids, the Zines are finished for class and I was asked to review Vrinda's Untitled piece of work. I would like to start off by saying that her Zine is just that, a piece of "work". Just by looking at the cover you can tell that she was meticulous about every little detail concerning her Zine, from her stylized highlighting of different words in larger texts right down to the little veins and capillaries of her anatomical drawings. Everything about it yells detail, detail, detail. But it is in no way boring! With proper photocopying Skillz, Vrinda was able to gain just the right contrast for each page, whether is be a big hulking mass of black with different dream or heart diction highlighted to the barely-there texts concerning blood cells and blood pressure. Each page has its own character and shows it right out loud. Vrinda even bothered to vary her page sizes and chop down a few pages just for anatomical drawings of eyes and skeletons and whatnot. And the splash page, if I do say so myself, is quite the beauty! Perfectly copied. And with varied page sizes come varied censoring styles, from blocks of ink that cover the entire page minus a few sentences to little patterned blotches and all the way down to nothing so that you can see the entire text. I must say, that on top of all this genius, that the cover is probably my favorite part. Not only does it catch your eye and separate itself from the rest of the book with its paper, but it's also really funny to pet. So let me say this, folks, go. Go out and read Vrinda's Zine (a name unworthy of this piece of artwork). Go read it, and pet it. Pet it lots, and make your fingers as happy as your eyeballs!
